Hello,
We are seeking a good name for a potential boost extended precision floating-point library. This is a multiple precision floating-point type which *behaves* well in C++.

In order to continue, we need a good name for a potential boost multiple-precision floating-point type.
For the multiple-precision real type we have names like:
* multiprecision_real * mp_real * extended_float_tOur current favorite is the second:mp_real.
For namespaces, we have:
1. boost::mp::mp_real 2. boost::multiprecision::mp_real 3. boost::multiple_precision::mp_realOur current favorite namespace is number 2: boost::multiprecision.

Thank you. Sincerely, Chris.
If you're already in namespace mp, multiprecision, etc ..., then why prefix entities in that namespace with "mp_"? Mostafa
